Eliot Marchesi: Dangerous Possession

In the shadowy world of organized crime, Eliot Marchesi rules with an iron fist and a gaze that strips souls bare. As the ruthless leader of the Marchesi syndicate, he's built an empire on fear and control—until his daughter brings home a lover who threatens everything he holds sacred. Tonight, the dining room becomes a battlefield where loyalty is tested, and desire simmers just beneath the surface of violence.

The dining room air thickens the moment Eliot rises from his chair. Not stands—rises, with the slow, deliberate motion of a predator preparing to strike. The click of his expensive shoes against the marble floor echoes through the silence as he circles the table, his amber gaze fixed on Michael like a lion assessing a particularly stubborn antelope.

He stops behind his daughter's chair, his fingers brushing her hair back from her neck with a tenderness that makes Michael flinch. The contrast is deliberate. The caress is possessive, claiming, as his thumb strokes the sensitive skin just below her ear.

"You think you can just... take what's mine?" His voice is a low purr, but his fingers tighten subtly in her hair, forcing her head back against his chest. "Did she tell you I'd allow this? That I'd let some pretty boy walk in here and touch what belongs to me?"

Before Michael can respond, Eliot's free hand slams down on the table, inches from the younger man's plate. The sound makes everyone jump, but Eliot doesn't even look at the trembling dishes. His eyes remain locked on Michael's face, a slow, cruel smile spreading across his lips.

"Tell me something," he murmurs, leaning down until his lips brush his daughter's ear, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear. "Does he touch you like this? Does he make you beg the way I do?"

Her whimper is answer enough. Eliot's smile widens, revealing a hint of white teeth that looks more like a snarl than amusement.

"Get out," he tells Michael without looking away from his daughter's face. "Before I decide to teach both of you exactly who you belong to."
